Stefan Wilson Has Solid Day of Testing for Indy 500

Stefan Wilson Practice 3 quote:
“It was a little bit frustrating this afternoon, we made some changes that were on our test plan and you know we just didn’t find the results that we wanted from those changes. We’re going to try to go back on some and make some different changes for tomorrow and hopefully get the handling back a little bit better. I’m really proud of all of my team, they put in a lot of work today to make those changes and we were able to evaluate them which moves the whole team forward finding out which things don’t quite work.”
